This provision does not meet requirements

For example, during discussions with the inspector she is unaware of how to identify when a child may be at risk from extreme views or behaviours. n The childminder does not have sufficient knowledge to be able to fulfil her responsibility to promote children's learning. She is unable to demonstrate how she would provide a range of stimulating activities that cover all areas of learning. n The childminder does not know how to assess children's abilities and progress to enable her to target teaching to meet their individual learning needs.

This provision does not meet requirements

There were no children present when this inspection took place. The findings in this report are based on evidence gathered from discussions with those who care for the children and an inspection of the premises, equipment and relevant documentation. Where there are no children present, no judgement is made on the quality of the early years provision as there is no reliable evidence on which to assess its impact on children. The report states whether the provider continues to meet the requirements of registration.
